App Makes it Easy to Design Your Own 3D-Printed Ring

3D-printing studio Shapeways unveiled a new app Wednesday that allows customers to create their own 3D-printed rings without the need for sophisticated 3D-modeling software.

Rings cost as little as $2.30 and as much as $130 or more, depending on the material chosen. If creating a ring from scratch is intimidating, you can choose to modify and print a ring from a range of pre-existing templates.
